Italy, Greece must act now on migrants says Merkel

'Set up registration centres by year's end'

(ANSA) - Berlin, August 24 - Italy and Greece must act as
soon as possible to open migrant registration centres, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday. "We have established with
the heads of government that there should be registration
centres in the countries particularly hit by the first arrivals,
like Greece and Italy," she said after a summit with French
President Francois Hollande. "This must happen quickly, by the
end of the year, we cannot accept delays," she said.
